The game's soundtrack is great (seriously just listen to the main theme https://youtu.be/pLC36jK8Xew?si=MQZt9bGL7HiEWqRM) but it just kind of sucks as a game. Movement is stiff, combat is pretty barebones, and there's almost no content. Now if they took the idea of a top-down Kirby and made it into something closer to a 2D Zelda game where you use different copy abilities to explore, that would be great, but it really does not work as a multiplayer focused arena brawler. Kirby Fighters already existed both as a Triple Deluxe minigame and a standalone 3DS eShop title at this point, so I really don't know why HAL decided to make this, let alone to make it a full priced cartridge release so late in the 3DS's lifespan.
